Delhi Man Celebrates Engagement Party Before Killing Live-In Partner

NEW DELHI: At his engagement party on February 9, Sahil Gehlot danced and enjoyed himself with his friends. However, after a heated argument, he allegedly strangled his live-in partner and stuffed her body inside a refrigerator. Gehlot, 24, reportedly got hitched the following day. In southwest Delhi, Gehlot is accused of strangling Nikki Yadav to death and stuffing her body inside a refrigerator.

When Nikki Yadav's body, age 23, was found in the refrigerator after Gehlot was questioned by police on February 14, the crime wasn't discovered until then, according to authorities. Gehlot reportedly went to Yadav's leased residence in Uttam Nagar after the engagement celebration, according to the police.

Yadav allegedly persuaded Gehlot to take a brief vacation while he was there before their February 10 wedding. During the second day of questioning, a senior officer claimed Gehlot admitted to being "in double mind" and unable to decide whether he wanted to continue living with his live-in girlfriend or wed the woman his parents had chosen for him.

When describing the events, the suspect informed police that he had left Yadav's home about 15 days prior to the incident, but that after getting engaged on February 9, he went to her house in Uttam Nagar and spent the night there.

"Yadav had already decided that she wanted to fly to Goa with him and had already purchased her tickets. However, she was unable to purchase Gehlot's ticket through a travel app. They opted to visit Himachal Pradesh as a result of their itinerary adjustment.

After learning that they would need to take a bus from Anand Vihar Bus Terminus, they travelled to Nizamuddin Railway Station in his car. However, when they arrived, they were told that the bus would actually leave from the Kashmere Gate ISBT, the officer explained.
